Rose (9/12 songs) - 28%

Axl - 39%
Slash - 12.5%
Stradlin - 29.5%
McKagan - 13.5%
Adler - 0%
Weber - 1.5%
Arkeen - 4%Of course this theory is assuming if you got a credit for writing a song you had an equal share in it (Axl/Stradlin = 50/50). Intersting that Duff had more credits than Slash :-\
I reworked the numbers without Weber and Arkeen and they look like this:
Rose = 42%
Slash = 13%
Stradlin = 32%
McKagan = 14%
Adler = 0%
also a axl interveiw exerpt
Rolling Stone, May 11th 2000
After a 17.5 percent commission to management, Axl and his band mates divvied up the money according to a specific formula, which Axl described once in court. During pre-production for Appetite, Axl said, "Slash devised a system of figuring out who wrote what parts of a song or part of a song. There were four categories, I believe. There was lyrics, melody, music - meaning guitars, bass and drums - and accompaniment and arrangement. And we split each one of those into twenty-five percent. When we had finished, I had forty-one percent, and other people had different amounts."

anyway its obvious they gave stuff to members just based on their involvement cuz Adler gets like 10-15% or something
#12289 Re: Guns N' Roses » The year I learned how to stop caring and love the wait » 986 weeks ago
JB was right Slash formula determined 42% of credits for Axl
but thats because they wieghed vocal melodies and lyrics heavily as part of composition, but musically we gotta remember that axl didnt write much, he relied on the other guys to do their thing...which i normal i mean, not a slight agains what Axl did for AFD but i think 10 of the 12 songs or something were lyrics and vocal melody by Axl....again by Slash's formula it translated to 42% of the credits...i broke it all down on the old RoV board and i cant be arsed to do it all again
#12290 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Weiland Arrested Again » 986 weeks ago
a year may be a bit much, he didn't kill or hurt anyone. but a few months would teach him a well needed lesson.
he's already gotten a few months a few times...i would think hes gonna get the maximum this time, i hope he doesnt but i guess we'll have to wait and see what the verdict is later today
